I had the job just done in a my install of lupu528_005 and so I can help you. I have compiled v4l-utils in lupu even if it's reported the wary version working in lupu, too. Install the attached pet. With some webcams you have to run skype by a console command of the kind:

Code:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

or

Code:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype

I don't have tested the packaging with new2dir command: in my install I directly installed from source code. So report your testing.

Great, it works, can you compile V4L2UCP ,an universal control panel for V4L and V4L2 devices for 528? It woud be great. My eyetoy webcam and Logitech need set brightness , contrast, saturation etc and change resolution.... With guvcview some settings works but with skype no changes. How to set webcamera settings or in which file for skype are these settings in puppy.... I think v4l2ucp can do the trick.
I tried to edit .guvcviewrc and default.gpfl but no changes for skype:

With deb2pet I obtained a pet package of multimedia debian v4l2ucp that works in every puppy. Only in slacko 5.5 it needs qt-3.3.8 from puppy3 repository and a symbolic link named libqt-mt.so.3 in /usr/lib to /usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8:

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

About lupu I had not to do this but consider that I usually install qt-3.3.8 in my puppies.

ok, in puppy 528, i downloaded your link for v4l2ucp, than it wanted qt-3.3.8.pet and than this

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

and than (error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) more this:

Code:

ln -s /lib/libpng12.so.0.42.0 /lib/libpng.so.3

it works now thanks, but one problem with eyetoy cam. I tried skype, I have test skype picture colors very/only blue , no red, and I need correct it. In GUVCVviewer the same cam in 320x240 has the same problem , when I switch to 640x480 the picture is perfect...
ok, but in skype , in guvcvviewer or in v4lucp i can correct only brightness, contrast and color for this cam, nothing like resolution, gamma, saturation......
any ideas how to do it. It use ov519 driver. But why it works with 640x480 and with 320x240(which use skype) not???

Try another frugal install and install the v4l2ucp at the second link I gave you in the previous post from ubuntu old ppa: it's more evolute in lucid, it should work without symbolic links and it has a menu entry.
